The Nintendo Direct trailer for the soon-to-be-released The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch has shed light on a couple of extra details before the game launches in just a couple of weeks on 20th September.
As you may already know, modular Chamber Dungeons are earned throughout your adventure and these can be placed and combined with various effects to create custom dungeons. While we already knew that the new Link amiibo can be used to summon Shadow Link, the trailer revealed that your custom Chamber Dungeons can be saved to any Legend of Zelda series amiibo and easily shared with fellow adventurers in your immediate vicinity.
Just a tiny tidbit, but it's nice to hear our bulging amiibo collection might come in handy. The new Link amiibo that's launching alongside the game will take the total of NFC figurines featuring the green-garbed adventurer to a whopping thirteen, not to mention the others in the series. What do you mean you don't have them all?
The trailer also highlighted a few returning, familiar faces that you might not associate with this series, especially if you didn't play the original Game Boy Link's Awakening:
A word of warning, though - make sure you use one of your friend's amiibo if you're sharing dungeons; you don't want to lose your Link and there are a lot of thieves about, especially where this game is concerned.
Can you resist adding yet another Link to your amiibo collection? Nope, us neither. There's not long to wait now until we can start building our own top-down dungeons - feel free to share you excitement or amiibo apathy below.

I can resist. It's not easy but my will is strong and my wallet tight.
Still excited for the game itself, though.
This already feels quite lightweight for a £50 game, locking some of it behind an amiibo does nothing to make it more appealing.
You shouldn't have to buy another Link amiibo.
Any Young Link amiibo should summon the Shadow Link.
I already have too many...and higher pricing ($16) is ridiculous.
This is being paywalled by an amiibo? If only Nintendo had some game that provided a template that shows how custom level creations are fun and appealing when shared with other players on an online platform...
i currently only have one Zelda amiibo will be getting the Links Awakening amiibo
The space on a amiibo is tiny this limits what the dungeon maker can so do so it’s wonder why it is the way it is, can’t see it being I’ll keep coming back too and having to support the amiibo means that they can’t improve it with updates. Give us a full fledged Zelda Maker next year please.
This one’s going to need more than this weak looking dungeon thing to interest me at full price.
I have Link and Zelda from Wind Waker dual pack, so I guess I’ll pass on it for now. Cute figure, though.
Imagine if they had some sort of system where you could build and share stages on the internet somehow.....hrm. Guess I'll have to mail an amiiboo back and forth to my friends.
Question.
Does LUMO have same aspect as Link's custom dungeon ?
Yeah, hmmm, I thought you would be able to share them via online, not via amiibo
I love that Nintendo thinks this game is worth a AAA price when games like Spyro and Crash offer 3 games in 1 and are also remakes for a fraction of the price.
Welcome to 199… erm 2019!
I want dampe amiibo
@Jokerwolf I know! I really wanted this game but I just can't justify the purchase when there are other newer releases coming. I'll wait for a sale as this game is not worth the 60 dollar price tag.
@Moonlessky Glad I am not the only one, and I am an insanely huge Zelda fan, sill have the DX game for gameboy but there just isn't enough stuff to justify it.
I'm not going to buy the game anytime soon but I already pre-ordered the Link amiibo. With recent games like Astral Chain, Pokemon Master, and next week Daemon X Machina taking my time, it would be hard to juggle it in the group.
I can wait for a sale
Too bad you can't share them online like every other maker-type game out there.
I'm excited to replay through this, though I wish there was a bit more content added to make the 60 dollar price tag feel better. This customer dungeons would have been much cooler if you could share them online with people.
Share online seems an odd omission.
@sandman89 Took the words right out of my mouth. I was literally about to post the same idea.
We also need that Zora from Ocarina that sits there chomping on beans
@Antraxx777 You mean the Bean seller? Lol... that wasn't a Zora
Havent played this since the gameboy days, and while it wont be a day one, I'll gladly fork over full price for it around christmas. I feel the facelift and stuff is worth it personally. Plus, I dont buy many full priced games anymore.
